Aye, it's got a lot of buttons, and I've tried transferring several of the config settings, however, none of the drivers they pointed to seem to exist in BSD, and they also pointed to devices, again nonexistant in bsd. example, one involves the following: Option "Device" "/dev/input/event1" Option "Protocol" "evdev" If I try to use evdev, x refuses to start, and says said module does not exist in the log file. The other variants I've seen have similar modules that I can't find and won't load.
